Overview
The following is a plan created to walk through the process of redesigning a website. It is broken up into 8 individual phases. The plan is designed so that a phase must be completed before moving on to the next phase. Each phase also includes a final step of reviewing and documenting.
Phase 1: Discovery
In Phase 1, the primary goal is to collect the data that will be used to move forward in the project. This includes analyzing the current website using web analytics and reviewing current web trends. It’s also important to interview the individuals and community who currently uses your website. During this phase, it’s important to not have too many assumptions, just a primary goal of information gathering. By the end of this phase, you should have a document that will help answer questions moving forward.
